Jeez! Will you all stop trashing my school? When have I ever trashed Seaholm?! The list was ratio based, but in order to even be considered for evaluation Newsweek also requested various other stats. There are a lot of other schools that have similar ratios that weren't even considered for evaluation! If you honestly believe that the stats are so bogus, why don't you visit our school for a week? I'm sure you would love the all-IB (not AP) curriculum, 150 community service hours and 6 out-of-school enrichment requirements, mentorship requirements, 30 hours of IB testing, and all academic classes (no electives whatsoever). Not to mention we only have a 6-week summer break (which we must spend writing a 4000 word extended essay), I'm sure none of you are going back August 11th! The honor of being the #1 school in the US may be nice, but every single student in our school has had to work their ass off for 4 years to earn it. Please don't trash them after all their hard work. And also, no offense Lizzy, but Caroline and I are probably the only people you've ever met from IA. We're not a bunch of misfits. Granted, we may have a few nerds - but what school doesn't? 99% of my school is made up of really nice, hard working people.
